Silicon Valley Health Institute | Toxins: Cause of Disease - Joseph Pizzorno, ND (July 2020) @SiliconValleyHealthInstitute | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
“Toxins: Cause of Disease” is the presentation shared by Joseph Pizzorno, ND at the July 25, 2020 Zoom meeting of the Silicon Valley Health Institute.
Toxins are a major contributor to most chronic diseases. In history, there is the example of Mad Hatters Disease caused by mercury, and the fall of the Roman Empire has been attributed to lead poisoning. In 2010 there were 80,000 chemicals on the market. Very few of these were tested for safety. The exposure to toxins starts at an early age.
Babies have been found with up to 200 chemicals in them before birth. Each year 6.5 billion pounds of chemicals are dumped into the air. These toxins have an adverse effect on our health and on our metabolic pathways. They can clog the liver, block insulin receptor sites, damage genes, undermine DNA repair and recovery, contribute to inflammation blood sugar problems, mitochondrial disorders, immune issues, and hormonal imbalances. Children are particularly susceptible during the window during which the brain forms and the interconnecting neurons develop.
